Sweet Tooth

Sweet Tooth is one of many dessert cafes in Mong Kok… but not a very good one at that. I came here with two other friends the other day and I had pretty high hopes. The exterior of it looked really nice and seemed like a very cosy café, but the desserts failed to impress.
They had an afternoon tea menu which didn’t have many choices. In the end, I settled for the matcha and red bean waffles. Both my friends got the banana chocolate waffles.
The set comes with a ‘special drink’ (that’s what they called it!); if you wanted to change it to coffee or tea, there would be a surcharge. All three of us decided to go for the ‘special drink’ — whatever it was — I don’t know why we didn’t think to ask what this drink actually was. Immediately after the waiter wrote down our order, she came back with the drinks, which were really strange. It looked like water, but was really sugary and weird-​tasting. I took a small sip and just set it aside.
I give them props for their creativity in the presentation of their waffles — rather than laying them flat, the waffles are cut up in pieces and piled on top of one another to create a little waffle tower. Like the drinks, our waffles came really fast. The waffles were a lot crispier than any other waffles that I’d eaten before. It didn’t have the soft, moist texture that most waffles do. The green tea ice cream was typical — nothing spectacular but didn’t have a very strong green tea taste. My friends who had ordered the banana chocolate waffles said that theirs were not bad though, so perhaps it’s just a difference in opinion.
Overall, I won’t be coming back to Sweet Tooth because the waffles were too solid for my liking — the ‘special drink’ was also really bad. I’ve never had a drink that was so bad I couldn’t continue to take another sip, but this was the case here!
